The update interval is probably already configurable.

System monitors and stuff that scrolls, e.g. KNewsTicker, obviously need to 
update their presentation quite often, but usually also allow the user to 
adjust the update interval.

Bascially a trade-off question. Will be interesting to see if KDE4 versions 
will offer to have different settings depending on power mode, e.g. updating 
less often when battery powered.

Cheers,
Kevin
